Wow. As a person who is always asking the question, “am I using the best tool available”, I am well impressed with my first impressions of Sublime Text 2!
This burning question drove me to learn and use Emacs for about two years in my daily workflow, and then to Vim for about the same length of time. Vim’s different editing modes and powerful text manipulation features are the reasons I would never switch to another editor – unless this other editor has the option to incorporate all of Vim’s key bindings and mode-based editing features. Enter: Sublime Text’s “Vintage” mode.
Vim has never left me wanting, until the day I tried Sublime Text 2. I definitely recommend trying it out for yourself!
